27 Sep 16 - 08:06 PM (#3811661) Subject: RE: BS: Long term member? From: gnu I can't really do the % thing because the 40512 posts do not include most of every October and November for quite a few years when I didn't post at all. I used to enjoy fall hiking through the fly infested bog country of Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada when there weren't any flies flitting. I spent weeks by myself without speaking to another human, save the odd time I had to venture to "civilization" to pick up essential supplies and do laundry. I miss those days and nights. Just me and the trees and the stars. |

28 Sep 16 - 10:54 AM (#3811746) Subject: RE: BS: Long term member? From: Ed T 2008, came across the site when searching for stories of a colourful south USA politician, called Mudcat. Especially enjoyed the linked info, varied perspectives (I have learned from), interesting folks and humourful comments. Quite often, discussions stimulated me to learn more, a big plus. I also read most music posts, but dont have the music knowledge to contribute much. I have only been told to F-off a couple of times here, (a badge of honour, I suspect), as stirring things up can be interesting when times are boring (some if tge pms following such events are often interesting). I dont take offense by insults, deserved or otherwise. I just mostly like people and diversity (opinions and people) and learning from others, the crusty and the meek.. Only check in now annd then, and do miss some of the folks who dont anymore. Keep up the good work mods - it may come back on a better path. |
